4. STATUTORY PROVISIONS & NOTES APPEALS TO THE WELSH GOVERNMENT 1. If the applicant is aggrieved by the decision of the Local Planning Authority to; i) refuse consent for an advertisement; ii) grant consent for an advertisement, subject to a condition with which you are dissatisfied; or iii) serve a “discontinuance notice” requiring you to remove an advertisement or to stop using the advertisement site. They may, by notice served within 8 weeks of receipt of this decision notice, appeal to the Welsh Government in accordance with Regulation 15 of the Town & Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations, 1992. The Welsh Government has power to allow a longer period for the giving of notice of appeal and may exercise this power in cases where they are satisfied that the applicant has deferred the giving of notice because negotiations with the Local Planning Authority in regard to the proposed advertisements are in progress. The Welsh Government is not required to entertain such an appeal if it appears that consent for the display of the proposed advertisements could not have been granted by the Local Planning Authority otherwise than subject to the conditions imposed by them. Notice of appeal, should be made on the prescribed form obtainable from the Welsh Government, Planning Inspectorate, Crown Buildings, Cathays Park, Cardiff. CF10 3NQ. (Tel. 0303 444 5940). Should the appellant wish the Welsh Government to appoint a Welsh speaking inspector to hear any appeal against the County Planning Authority’s decision, such request should be made to the Welsh Government when Notice of Appeal is lodged. THE CHOICE OF ADVERTISEMENT APPEAL PROCEDURES 2. There is a choice of three appeal procedures and the Planning Inspectorate will co-ordinate with you, or your agent, in enabling your appeal to be processed in the way you would prefer. But there may be a few occasions when the Planning Inspectorate has to use a procedure which is not your own preference, in order to ensure that all aspects of the appeal are thoroughly and fairly considered. When this happens, the Planning Inspectorate will explain why. The available appeal procedures are: i. by written representations which you and the Local Planning Authority make, followed by an accompanied or unaccompanied site inspection of the appeal site; ii. by written representations which you and the Local Planning Authority make, followed by consideration of photographs of the appeal site, provided you and the Local Planning Authority agree to this arrangement; iii. by a hearing of the parties’ oral representations and an accompanied site inspection of the appeal site, which are then reported to the National Assembly. The procedures described in i. and ii. are likely to enable you to receive the quickest possible decision on your appeal as the procedures for exchanging written representations are tightly time tabled. Written representations or Hearings are not suitable for cases which have generated substantial third party representations, or which involve cases where it is desirable to cross-examine evidence. The procedure described in iii. is usually the slowest and most expensive method of appealing and you should only opt for this procedure if you have good reason to ask for a local hearing of your appeal. Normally, local inquiries are confined to those cases that require advocacy.
